Comments on: Ahhhh Crumpets http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/07/15/ahhhh-crumpets/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

It is for activating the yeast. The part "Dissolve the yeast in 2 tablespoons of the milk". Should be "Dissolve the yeast in 2 tablespoons of the milk and the teaspoon of caster sugar". Yeast loves the sugar and really fires it up :) For those wondering where the caster sugar goes. It is for activating the yeast. The part “Dissolve the yeast in 2 tablespoons of the milk”.

Mould is not caused by bacteria. Several types of Bread mould spores are plentiful in the air. Also, one of the more common bacteria to contribute to bread spoilage, Bacillus mesentericus ,(note by spoilage I do NOT mean MOULD) actually survives the bread baking process temperatures. Mould however does thrive particularly well in moist and nutritious environments - perfect example of this is crumpets wrapped in plastic! Also, as well as Tip Top, Goodman Fielder under their 'Buttercup' brand also makes and sells crumpets in Australia. (which of course, like the tip top ones, are no where near as wonderful as home made!) On the ‘why crumpets go mouldy’ theory above:

I had a bit of a laugh about the magic pudding factor I had going. By the time one batch of crumpets were ready, the dough had risen back up to the same place it was before I put the batch on.
